Three years ago, when we were burying my uncle, Cleaver and some gross lady dog (Solstice???) showed up at the cemetery and starting going at it really loudly. It ruined everything and we had to have a "re-do" the next day and it cost a fortune. I've hated him ever since for that.

DECORAH — The MVP plaque laying on the table in the Decorah High School main office features the name of Josey Jewell. A trophy stands behind the plaque. A gold football player, striking a poorly constructed Heisman pose tops the wooden monument on the table.
It's one of many laurels scattered on the platform memorializing accomplishments of the Vikings' athletic teams. There are crystal vases, photo plaques and other wooden awards, but the one that towers above them also boasts the plastic golden football player.
On its base, gold letters signify the football team's accomplishment: 2012 3A state champions.
The player that stood the tallest on the team is the same player whose name appears at the base of the plaque, on the MVP trophy — Josey Jewell.
The senior can add one more award to that pack — The Gazette/KCRG All-Area Player of the Year.
Jewell led the Vikings in rushing, receiving, scoring, tackles, interceptions, interception yards and punt returns. He completed the only pass he attempted, intercepted a pass and recovered two fumbles. Offensively, defensively or on special teams, Jewell created havoc for opposing teams, including one of his best performances in a 49-21 victory in the state championship against Bishop Heelan.
"It's hard at some points. You're tired, you're working hard at every play," Jewell said. "But it's rewarding, all the players out there, everybody was really good this year, it was nice to be a part of the whole team and contribute a couple different ways and help everybody out."
Next year, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound senior hopes to help another football team. But it won't be at 195. Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa contacted Jewell. The three schools have interest in him on the defensive side of the field, but at a weight closer to 225.
Jewell has at least a year to bulk up with a strong possibility of red-shirting his freshman year. It could be the first time since seventh grade that a healthy Jewell will watch from the sideline.
"There was a kid who was a little bit faster than me," Jewell said. "So he played at running back. Coach called him 'lightning in a bottle.' So he had him play quite a bit."
Five years later, the angst in his voice is still noticeable. It's the same tone he uses when discussing doubters who said he won't be able to compete in Division I.
"I've seen on the Iowa preps and stuff, looking at those things. I probably shouldn't but I've just been reading them," Jewell said. "I've just been reading them and I don't know, it just makes me be more determined and work harder to get to that area to prove them wrong."
As a freshman, Jewell dreamed of running out of a tunnel at a Division I stadium to the roar of the capacity crowd. This year, he came close to accomplishing that dream, walking out of the tunnel at both Kinnick Stadium and Jack Trice Stadium.
"Oh it's pretty cool. You don't hear it right away, all the noise," Jewell said. "Then all of a sudden it's like everybody is cheering and it's a good feeling to know that you could be on that field and be … a part of that."
Jewell attended the Iowa State-Iowa game at Kinnick and Tulsa-Iowa State game at Jack Trice. The next step for him is to jog out of a college football stadium's tunnel wearing the uniform of the home team.
He's dealt with the naysayers throughout his football career. He wasn't "lightning in a bottle," but when it mattered he carried the ball. He wasn't good enough to play Division-I football, but schools came calling.
And even now, with three programs showing interest, some still question his size. He's answered every question along the way.
He's never had a problem avoiding tacklers or taking down runners on the field. As he walks away from Decorah, he's not about to let people off the field stop his dream.
"I always thought I wanted to play D-I football. Everybody was like no you won't. You won't be good enough. You have to be really good for that. That's not you," Jewell said. "I was like, well I'm just going to have to work hard. I guess it's kind of turned out."

The four turtles go it to the death to see who stands on last.

Leonardo probably wins, due to being the most skilled of the four brothers, and the most level-headed.
"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
- C.S. Lewis
Dory St. Johns on Wikicadia
Yeah, I think it's more or less established that Leo is the best, followed close behind by Raph, with Mike and Don being third mainly because they don't apply themselves to martial arts quite as much as their brothers. Leo has the highest skill and best discipline as well as being truly "into" the martial arts on a level the others aren't. Raph could be equal to Leo but still lets his rage and ego get the better of him thus holding him back slightly, while Don's passion is more geared towards working with machines. Mike supposedly has the potential to be even better than Leo, but he's more of a party guy at heart, and the turtle who slacks off on his training the most.

In the first episode of the new series there was something like this in Tournement mode.
Leo vs. Mikey. Leo Wins.
Raph vs. Donnie. Raph Wins.
Raph Vs. Leo. Raph Wins.
Leo became the leader not because he was the best but because he was the first to ask for it.
However, Leo in the first two animated series and the live action movies tended to be more disciplined and more determined warrior.
The Raph/Leo dynamic in the new series reminds me of Blossom/Buttercup one on Powerpuff Girls. Buttercup was made to be the better fight but Blossom had better Leadership skill even if she was bossy too.

One scene that springs to mind is a spar between him and Raphael (the Raphael One-Issue 'Microseries'). Raph eventually loses his temper and is getting all serious, Mike keeps dodging, weaving, and generally not taking it seriously at all, basically critiquing Raphael's technique while Raph swipes at him, then belting Raph around a little. Raph gets super serious and starts hammering on him, all-out; Mike takes a few hits, gets his head in the game, and flips Raphael into a pile of trash, still joking and laughing.
Raph then goes berserk and grabs a pipe wrench to try to beat his head in, but that's another matter.
Anyway, it IS referenced several times in the old comics, and Mike does tend to show up the other guys from time to time. But Leo is an all-around better fighter than him, due to dedicated practice to hone his technique, and Raph puts more oomph into his fighting, so in general those two are better than him.
Don't have a clue about anything beyond the old series, though.
I swear to god I am this close to pulling out my old palladium TMNT source books and losing an afternoon. Does going on a ten page rant about how the success of the movie and cartoon ruined one of the truest indie comic triumphs of my youth count as derailing a thread?
Anyways, Nik and Sharp have it right on. The definitive early stuff always portrayed Leo as the most skilled and capable, Raph as the strongest and most dangerous, Mike as a physical prodigy but a flake, and Donatello as a reluctant warrior by default. In sparring it was usually Raph or Leo with Mike stealing the odd win when he felt like trying. In a scenario where they were going at it for real I'd take Raph due to ruthlessness and aggression 60% of the time, with Leo taking the other 40% due to Superior skill.
Though in a scenario you have to factor in the fact that they were actually ninjas, not samurais, and Raph was very good at the stealth and esoteric stuff (though Mike was the best at moving silently and concealment), while Leo had more bushido to the point it might hurt him and make him play it too straighforward and be vulnerable to trickery.
In Khazan with everyone bloodlusted Mike stands a real chance of winning.

yeah i'm going with the flow and say that Leonardo is pretty much the best (no surprise, he's the frickin' leader). Followed by Raph, since he's the most brutal and aggressive of the brothers. Then Donatello with his more gentle and intellectual approach and range, and lastly Mike due to relative lack of focus and discipline (almost like me) but humorous banters.
And note that Leo's and Raph's weapons are the only weapons of the four turtle's possessions that can instantly kill a normal person.
Man how I remember three years ago from this month that I was watching Turtles Forever on TV and then fast forward three years later into the next decade, I have still yet to watch the first full episode of the new 2012 TMNT after watching one (or two) of the old live-action trilogy movies. I miss 2009. ;_;

Healthy regards,
Dennis Garnham
I am a 9 year professional firefighter/EMT in Tucson, Arizona. I am starting on the path to a second career, hoping to combine two of my passions: firefighting and fitness training.
Brian Barrett
Tucson, AZ
A few months back, before NSCA switching to new forum format, I posted a topic looking for input about designing a program for an upcoming SWAT school my department and team are hosting. I did get a reply from someone in, I believe Washington state, but since the forum changed I lost that info. Hopefully you will read this.
Basically, I am looking for some input on putting togther a short program for a class size of about 20- 30 officers. We will do group exercise in the mornings and then I would like to implement physical training througout the day. The class is only a week long so it won't be too elaborate. I already have an idea of what I will do but was just looking for some input and maybe someone already has a program they would not mind sharing.
Any help would be appreciated.
How do we post a separate topic? I posted a topic but it is attached to this original message and topic. any help would be appreciated.

During President Obama's first term, there was hidden friction between powerful Cabinet secretaries and a White House that wanted control over the foreign-policy process. Now Obama has assembled a new team that, for better or worse, seems more likely to follow the White House lead.
The first term featured the famous "team of rivals," people with heavyweight egos and ambitions who could buck the White House and get away with it. Hillary Clinton and Bob Gates were strong secretaries of state and defense, respectively, because of this independent power. Leon Panetta had similar stature as CIA director, as did David Petraeus, who became CIA director when Panetta moved to the Pentagon.

The solution is called a dike, and a gas powered trash pump.
Well, my sis's place floods everytime with heavy rains. Her barn has got over 8 feet, their basement, over 3 to 4. They have sliding glass doors there, and think the water is coming in thru it; will bricking them up stop this in the basement? Would a sump pump help with this amount of flooding? I recommend a sale sign.
The solution is called a dike, and a gas powered trash pump.
Rancher, thank you for responding,
I am going to ask this, and while asking it, I am laughing, but, what is a dike ? lol. I am thinking about how it relates to the flooding, lol. Could you please explain? Also, the second part, the trash pump, I think you said? Where exactly if you don't mind, would these be used? In the basement, on the inside, or in the stream that is nearby?
What if anything, would a sump pump do for these people? I had suggested it to her, and she didn't know either. They have a severe flooding problem. Her husband is ill alot of the time, so, he can't do much, unfortunately. It is pretty much up to her. Or can the flooding be so drastic, that a sump pump would be virtually useless?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Cookie, a dike, not a dyke...
A dike is an artificial earthen wall, constructed as a defense or as a boundary. It is also known in American English as a levee. Otherwise known as a berm...
In other words you build a dry lake to keep the rising water out, I saw one on the news when the Mississippi flooded, I think the guy finally gave up and left by boat.
A sump pump will most likely not be able to keep up with the water, and where are you going to pump it to?
A trash pump means it can handle "stuff" in the water and not clog.
I never knew there were 2 spellings, lol. I don't read smut, lol.
So, the sump pump wouldn't do much. I don't know where one would pump it. Everything is pretty much under water right now for her.
I will have to do a search on that ' berm' lol, you talked about. Honestly asking you this, how large of an area are you talking about when you would build a dry lake? I will look it up. Maybe, she could hire some people, if that would help some.
A trash pump might help them, alot. They have a tremendous amount of cleanup. Now, Rancher, where would that be at? and, can you explain about it alittle more. Does that need also, somewhere to pump it to?
I thank you dear sir.
Is her place located in a gulley or depression or at the foot of a hill or anything like that?Originally Posted by Cookie
My in-laws once had a similar problem with run-off from a slightly-higher field behind their property. Where the previous farmer had always plowed in a circular pattern to retain the water, the current one plowed toward and away from the back of their house. To resolve that problem when the new farmer refused to change his pattern, my in-laws ended up placing a berm at the back of their property to direct the water into a large ditch alongside.
It is pretty flat. But, they do have a stream very nearby, which sometimes, the beavers damn up and wola, makes the problem even worse. Ok, I looked up DYKE, lol, and I think, they tried that with sandbags. It didn't work. They do sandbag if they can ahead of time, around the house, closely around the house; but, that only helps somewhat. They own several acres, I wonder, what if they mowed their grass like you mentioned Lee? Or this berm, what did they use? sandbags, or dirt? Anything else my sis could do? It is pretty bad.
How they mow the grass would not affect anything, and I do not know what material(s) my father-in-law had used. But, and unless the house is at the low point of their property, or maybe even if so, I have to believe an experienced landscaping or drainage engineer could come up with a workable plan.Originally Posted by Cookie
Might a drainage engineer help? You saw how high the water, what do you think?
*What do you think about taking out a sliding glass door and bricking that part of the wall, where she thinks the water is coming in at? Any possiblities on that? Or would that be a waste of time, and money? Does water just come in from under the foundation?
Last edited by Cookie; 04-17-2007 at 02:21 PM.
Oh, boy do I agree. I wish they would, it is just too deep. I guess nothing much else might help. Thank you all, for your help, I tried.
Just thought I would share with you all, that she got geese and ducks swimming to there front door, and looking in the windows. I told her, to go fishing for dinner.
Life can be worse.
Levees can work, but look what happend in New Orleans...basically, nearly the whole city is below river level. If the water is that high, it could be coming in anywhere there is a crack in the foundation. With a levee around the house, it can get tricky to drive a car in unless it is really big. Messes up the view, too! Sandbags are an emergency stopgap. You will still get leaks, and you'd need a pump to move the water out of the area, over the top of your dike.
There was a picture in my local paper today of a 16" rainbow trout that got washed up and left high and dry by someones back porch as the nearby stream overflowed. Apparantly it receeded too quick for the thing to follow it back to the streambed.
If they are lucky, the fire department might bring out a pump for them and empty their basement.
From a safety viewpoint, any appliance, especially gas fired, should be replaced if it is submerged. It is just not safe. Also, if those things, if they exist, have pilot lights and are submerged, they should get out of the house immediately. Don't open the door to the area, don't turn on a light, don't call, anything like that could spark and literally blow the house up. You'd be lucky to find anything recognizable. A submerged gas appliance can be a major safety hazard. Call the gas company and have them shut the gas off at the meter.
BTW, dikes are what make a good portion of the Netherlands habitable.

It is pretty bad Jadnashua. I thought, honest to God, that water would leak in from the foundation. So, do you think taking out the glass sliding door and bricking it up would do any good? I will tell you my thought on it, honestly, I really didn't think it would. But, I was just assuming, knowledge from nowhere.
They do get the sandbags from the firedept, and I think, once or twice, they came and pumped some out. But, I know Jad, it took a long, long time to dry out. Last time, the flooring had to go, some of the wall coverings, etc. They shut there heat off, cause the furnace gets flooded. But, I think, they still reuse it after cleaning it. They never, yet, ever got it replaced. There stream became a raging river.
About the fish, I told them, to catch some, lol. Hey, make hay while the sunshines. They just got there power back today, electricity, phone...
Never saw the Netherlands, never saw a dike. I don't think. Thank you for your response Jad.

WARNER ROBINS -- Renowned Georgia artist Butler Brown and his artist son are offering original artwork as part of a silent auction to benefit strays and abandoned animals.
This is the third time the Brown family has partnered with Warner Robins police for such a fundraiser.
Bidding for the two pieces will continue until Dec. 21 at the Butler Brown Gallery at 1849 Watson Blvd. The artwork may be viewed at the gallery Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Proceeds will go toward the spaying or neutering of animals that rescue groups pull for adoption from Warner Robins Animal Control, said Greg Langston, director of Warner Robins Animal Control.
The whole idea is to enable more animals to find a home, he said.
It helps the rescue groups to be able to afford to pull more animals from us and get the animals spayed and neutered, Langston said.
The funds raised are set aside and used only for this purpose, he said. After an animal is adopted, the rescue group submits a bill for its spaying or neutering, and animal control reimburses the group from the silent auction proceeds, he said.
The 2011 fundraiser in which Brown, his son and Browns grandson donated artwork resulted in the spaying or neutering of more than 50 animals, Langston said. The event raised $2,970, said Tabitha Pugh, public information officer for Warner Robins police.
Brown, 74, a Hawkinsville native, gained fame when former President Jimmy Carter brought two of Browns paintings, Christmas gifts from his wife, Rosalynn, with him to the White House during his administration. Brown manages the Butler Brown gallery. His son, Anthony Tony Brown, 51, and his wife, Penne, own the gallery.
I feel sorry for the little animals that they have to put away, Butler Brown said Friday. They didnt ask to come into this world ... and I think they need to be looked after.
There are so many people out there who could enjoy having a puppy or a dog. I think its a very good thing. Thats why I do it.
The painting Brown is working on for the silent auction is of his uncles house in Dooly County near Pinehurst. The painting features a farmhouse with a fence and a road coming down to the lake. Its set in the summer with green trees and bushes along the fence and green grass in the foreground.
The water is blue with shades of pinkish lavender. The old wooden house, a dark gray weathered color, is similar to the one Brown said he grew up in, which was never painted.
Viewers of the painting can see into the windows of the house. Brown said he plans to add some flowers around the edge of the shrubbery. A bluebird is perched on a fence post.
Everybody looks for the bird in the painting, Brown said. Thats kind of my trademark.
The fundraisers grew out of a friendship between Butler and Warner Robins police Capt. Brenda Parks-Mathern, who formerly was over animal control, Brown said. The friendship budded when Brown showcased photographs taken by Parks-Mathern in the Butler Brown Gallery.
He also has a tender heart for animals. Brown has a 11-year-old Chihuahua named L.B., which is short for Little Boy. He and his late wife, Laverne, adopted and trained L.B. together.
The couple also cared for and loved another Chihuahua named Groosy for 17 years.
They become part of the family. Brown said.

The BMW R1150RT has all the comfort needed to blitz Europe – and it handles too. Proof that a motorcycle can take you a pillion and plenty of luggage to those Alpine passes can be fun once you get there. The R1150RT is lighter than most full tourers of the time and superbly built too – but it's no rocket in ...
996cc, 133bhp, 170mph, Insurance group 17
Exotic, ultra-rare and built with a level of attention few manufacturers can match. But unlike the Bimotas of previous decades, the SB8R doesn't radically out perform Japanese competition of the same time. It does manage to be a little better though and race success backed this up. Lack of dealer back up makes ownership worrying.

Colin O'Donoghue opens the treasure chest - Part 3
Colin discusses his favourite scene, Emma and Hook's relationship and sword fighting in the final part of our exclusive interview.
In Storybrooke, Sidney enlists Emma's aid to find evidence to expose the Mayor's corruption, and Mary Margaret and David continue their secret liaisons. Mystery fantasy drama series set in the land of fairy tales and in the contemporary New England town of Storybrooke, where the residents are fairy-tale characters who have lost their memories. In the enchanted forest, King Leopold (Snow White's father and the Evil Queen's husband) stumbles upon a magic lamp and is granted three wishes by a Genie.
Well, I'd love to catch up on the series, loved the back-to-back on 5*, but although they are all listed here, it keeps telling me that the episode is no longer available to watch. So... what's the point of listing it???
only started watchin it
I have just changed internet providers and have noticed there is no more freezing. I can watch the whole thing through just fine.

Not working
Well...this is June 30th 2012 and I'm in the process of catching up on recent episodes; I'm enjoying this programme so much as it is true escapism and intelligently done; it must have taken real brains to put this all together! I'm so sorry for those experiencing problems in being able to view as there is nothing more frustrating than being unable to watch something you've been longing to see yet finding it impossible...been there...but thankfully not on this site..(fingers xd now I've said that!) But truly,I've watched the majority of episodes of OUAT on here and have had no problems at all. Takes me back to my love of fairytales in my girlhood yet with a great modern twist...loving it!
This is my favourite tv show and i have been trying to watch this episode for two weeks now. What is with the freezing!!!!!!!!!
This is soooooooooo annoying i missed 3 episodes and it keeps freezing
Remember when 5 first started and there were all those jokes about how rubbish the picture was?? Well Demand 5 is reminding me of this - am now 3 episodes behind with no hope of watching it on here - ads play fine so can't be my connection!
So frustrated trying to catch up and it won't work. Please sort it out!!!!!!
Ads and then nothing. Love 'Once Up On A Time' missed a few episodes was really looking forward to catching up. please fix this problem.
Plays the advert fine (typicl, plays what you don't want) then nothing, argh
absolutely disgraceful it didn't even come on usually i never miss an bury i thought instead if watching ire last week i could of cough up on demand 5 nut look where that got me no where so now i have missed about episode and i can't march up thanks for nothing 5star
I am getting so mad and ready to give up. I have spent days trying to catch up on the last two episodes and they just wont play or freeze every 3 seconds. I watch all of the other sites and never have any problem. You can't even really report the problem because there is a problem with that. There is only 17 days left to catch up on this and at this rate it is going to take me a month to get through half of one show. I have just read some of the other comments and it is pretty obvious that this is a big problem for you and nothing is being done about it. It makes me wonder if you actually read your own comments!!!
i love this its like the best programme ever!!!
5, I would love to watch programmes without it constantly freezing. Iplayer and 4od do this effortlessly. Take a leaf out of their book?
when do we get to watch this programme is channel 5 saving it for a rainy day as i can never watch this program with out being kick out sombody getting paid to much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have actually just watched an episode with only a couple of 'freezes'....first time ever. lets hope this is Demand 5's new look.
Why is it that the competition can stream their programmes very successfully but Channel 5's player is absolute rubbish. Come on Channel 5 keep up!! However, it does seem strange that the adverts play well time after time......after time!!!
notice the ads dont freeze tho just keep replaying ! =-/
I was beginning to think it was my broadband. Love this show, but NOT loving the fact that the video does not play. Get it sorted please IT dept!
There has been probes with every episode/video here. Channel ( either does not care or their IT department is just to incompetent.
Can't get past the adverts. Adverts are fine but programme freezes.
Right, I've reported the problem with this video and it still continues to freeze. I am not pleased, and it sounds like nobody else is either. PLEASE FIX IT. If you can find the manpower to be able to moderate people's comments, you could at least have the good grace to fix the issue.
Come on channel 5, sort it out! Glad to see its not just me that isn't getting to watch this!
Why does this keep freezing on me. Has taken 3 hours to watch what should be 40 minuets long! Really am not impressed with Channel 5s catch up!
what a dissapointment, stops and will not go beyond 28 minutes, sad shocked and disappointed.
It just keeps freezing aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
comment is awaiting moderation
this is starting to bug me now, WHY WONT YOU WORK !!!!:(
finally got to watch it! just updated my browser yay
Come on please get this to run properly. Torture does not describe it and I have given up. I use the latest Firefox and do not get problems from other providers.
For Pete's sake, fix it!!!! I've given up.
Is it not the most frustrating thing trying to get this program to actually play!! Reading all these comments at least I'm not the only one. Channel 5 you should sell this to a torturer, it's exactly like pulling teeth after all!
Hate the fact that you can't download the programea (like you can on the BBCi website), this would stop the annoying freezing every time you want to watch something. Also hate the adverts.
yippeee finally got to watch this, without it freezing! well done channel 5 :-)
Come on Chanel 5 Techni guys, sort this out Love this show but hate having to watch on this web site. Keeps freezing.
Come on Chanel 5 Techni guys, sort this out
Come on Chanel 5 Techni guys, sort this out, watching is impossible.....
If yo get adverts, you need to get an ad blocker. You can get them for free. I use one, and get no adverts :-)
If hundreds of people have complained that this is unwatchable on On Demand, then why has nothing been done?
i cant even get past the adverts, what a joke.
Love this show but hate having to watch on this web site. Keeps freezing.
could not watch at all very very disappointed :(
unable to watch it at all disappointing
Brilliant show. Rubbish to watch on Channel 5 though. Aaaaargh!!!!!!!!!! How hard is it to make it watchable?
love the show if you have virgin media you catch up on there with subtitles
As another deaf viewer - WHERE ARE THE SUBTITLES? I've been waiting to watch this for a while. Fab show, love it, and even putting up with all the freezing to watch it, but the subtitles are a must. Come on Channel 5, you can be better!!
It Freezes around 25 mins please sort it out!
i am still waiting for subtitles to appear! as it was aired on tv on sunday and today it is wednesday! come on us deafies r not third classes! i love this programme but need subtitles for me to follow the story!
I LOVE this program but CANT watch it!!! Whats going on????
Still no subtitles???? it's now 3 days since this has been aired and i can't watch it! As a deaf viewer this is very frustrating and having to check back to see if the subtitles has been added is driving me bonkers, I just want to watch a fantastic show (which i must congratulate you on!)! Get your butt into gear Channel 5 - access for the deaf please!
trying to catch up and in the end resulted o Mizila Firefox but after 30 mins back to the same problem of freezing all the time, no other channel's catch up is a problem.
this is a great series, its just rather unfortunate that C5 seems to have a buffering problem. It can really spoil your viewing.
This service has failed on playbook why???
I can't get the subtitles NOR does the speech match up with the sound, this used to only happen on large screen, but now happens on smaller res aswell!! Boo
taken me half an hour and it wont even load up to let me play it, please sort it out
Can you please sort out the subtitles, it seems now every week i have to complain about this, and it's only after there's been complaints that the subtitles are added, why aren't they added automatically without a second thought! Come on Channel 5
i see many people are having problems watching the clips.... freezing, not playing... etc.... are you guys using IE7 or higher..... try playing through Mozilla firefox... down load lastest version... no problems watching at all
love it
love it
aaaaarrrrrggggg please fix ... been trying for the last hour to watch with only 11 minutes luck :( please please stop it from freezing !!!!
If I could 'like' Emma's status below I would....I mean....I manage to watch all the adverts without interruption....pleeeeease fix it!
Channel 5 - please please please stop the freezing thing. It took me 2 and a half hours to watch that.... I know you can do it because the Mentalist usually had the same problem but I watched all of it without interruption the other day. NCIS also. It isn't my computer because I've tried it on others with the same result. Please sort it out because you have good programmes and I can't watch them when they're on. It would be very nice if you could acknowledge some of the comments about this issue once in a while - I know I'm not the first person to point it out.... Thanks
Why don't you have this show on he iPad app??? :(
this film is sooooo stupid
its not working why why?????? error error

A 6-year-old New York girl gives her life's savings to help local rescued horsesFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- A random act of kindness giving caretakers of a herd of rescued horses a reason to smile.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- A random act of kindness giving caretakers of a herd of rescued horses a reason to smile.
More than 150 horses were seized from a Fargo man's property in Burleigh and Morton counties last week. A six-year-old New York girl decided to donate her life savings.
One little girl, more than a hundred horses, and a donation from across the country shows kindness has no borders.
When 6-year old Madi Georgia, from Whitney Point, New York, heard about a herd of suffering horses 15-hundred miles away, in New Salem, North Dakota, she wanted to help.
Madi: "I thought it was sad."
Rachelle Frost, Madi's mother, saw an article on Facebook about more than 150 horses that were seized from owner Bill Kiefer, after law enforcement found 99 dead horses on his property.
Madi had been saving every penny she's received, hoping to eventually buy a dolphin and an elephant. But when she heard about the horses, she changed her mind.
Rachelle: "She was just more than willing to give it away for that, with just no hesitation, when I've seen her save every bit of money she's got."
Madi sent 177-dollars to Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue in Bismarck, who had taken in 25 emaciated horses.
The group's founder, Allison Smith, says they're using the money to buy blankets for each animal. Now, Madi's money and kind heart are keeping those horses warm.
Rachelle and Madi: "It has to say something, that if something like that's going on that is even that big of a deal to a six year old all the way in New York, that something has got to change. Was it worth giving up your dolphin money, do you think? 'Yes.' Do you think that was more important? 'Mmhmm.'"
Triple H says donations have come in from across the country.

Access to Spikes and Toxic Spikes alongside great bulk has enabled Garbodor to carve itself a niche as a bulky hazard setter. Its decent defensive typing gives it key resistances and the ability to absorb opposing Toxic Spikes, making Garbodor a great team supporter. As a result, it is a very capable Spikes setter in the metagame. Unfortunately for Garbodor, its typing is a double-edged sword, giving it weaknesses to two extremely common attacking types in NU. It also faces stiff competition as a Spiker from Scolipede, whose better offensive presence limits Garbodor's viability on offensive teams. However, no other Spiker in the metagame is as bulky or reliable as Garbodor.
This is Garbodor's best set, which focuses on Garbodor's utility, bulk, and typing to the fullest. Spikes is Garbodor's best way to support its team, particularly with the switches it commonly forces, making it a staple on this set. Toxic cripples walls, such as Alomomola, that would normally have their way with Garbodor. Pain Split is Garbodor's most reliable form of recovery, which is important as its survivability is its main niche over Scolipede. Toxic Spikes can be used for further team support, but Pain Split is generally superior as it lets Garbodor stick around for a while. Besides, Toxic usually gets the job done just fine. The last moveslot prevents Garbodor from being Taunt bait; Rock Blast is a great choice for the utility it provides, notably hitting common threats such as Scolipede, Armaldo, and Haunter. Gunk Shot, on the other hand, provides a powerful STAB attack that hits decently hard off of Garbodor's good Attack stat. Most notably, it allows Garbodor to dent Fighting-types such as Sawk and Primeape.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Garbodor does not have many other viable options to choose from. Almost any offensive set it could possibly run is severely outclassed by Scolipede, who is much faster and packs a wider offensive movepool. If you're really desperate, a suicide lead with Weak Armor does have some potential; however, this wastes Garbodor's good bulk and resistances. In a similar vein, Explosion can be used, but Garbodor's longevity is its main selling point. Garbodor has a wide special movepool with moves such as Sludge Bomb, Thunderbolt, Giga Drain, and even Acid Spray, but it has an awful Special Attack stat to use them with. It has several setup options, including Curse, Stockpile, Amnesia, and Rock Polish. However, Curse does not bring out Garbodor's full potential, Stockpile and Amnesia are just wastes of a moveslot, and Rock Polish is again outclassed by Scolipede, who has access to Agility. Garbodor can set up Rain Dance and Sunny Day, but it doesn't benefit from either of them and has far better things it can be doing. Substitute is a viable option, but Garbodor usually doesn't have the room for it and would rather use free turns to set up Spikes. Finally, RestTalk can be used as a form of recovery if Pain Split doesn't cut it, but Garbodor loses far too much utility by doing so.
Checks and Counters
Ground-types can easily come in on anything but the rare Seed Bomb and dispose of Garbodor with their STAB moves. Bulky Psychic-types, such as Musharna, have little to fear from Garbodor and can set up against it. Frailer Psychic-types, such as Gardevoir and Jynx, can also check it well but have difficulty switching in on an attack. Most special attackers can beat Garbodor one-on-one due to its more physically-inclined defensive typing. Ghost-types, such as Misdreavus and Haunter, are immune to Spikes, resist Garbodor's STAB, and can set up on it, though Haunter must be wary of Rock Blast due to its frailty. Both Rock- and Steel-types laugh at anything Garbodor throws at them, save for the rare Drain Punch or Seed Bomb, and can dispose of it with their Ground-type coverage moves. Finally, Rapid Spin users can rid the field of Garbodor's Spikes, defeating its purpose on a team. Additionally, all the viable spinners in the tier are capable of defeating Garbodor one-on-one, as Armaldo, Torkoal, and Wartortle are all bulky enough to take repeated Rock Blasts or Gunk Shots from it and whittle it down.

If you haven't noticed, it's all rainbows and gumdrops for the post-Dwight Howard Magic.
The real Magic Kingdom doesn't spout this much squeaky-clean goodness and positive vibes.
During this rebuild, pardon our pixie dust.
At media day last October, I asked new GM Rob Hennigan how the franchise would weigh the possibility of acquiring talented players with suspect character.
"That," Hennigan said, "is going to be the challenge."
Available star free agents or college players aren't all Eagle Scouts and saints.
The Magic will have to determine their tolerability level because, like Bobby Bowden once said: "If short hair and good manners won football games, Army and Navy would play for the national championship every year."
I bring this up because the Magic and Sacramento Kings center/walking headache DeMarcus Cousins recently were linked by a trade rumor for about a nanosecond. The Magic privately squashed the notion. Far-fetched as the scenario might have been, the club's reaction spoke volumes.
Kentucky Sports Radio reported that Orlando, Boston, Dallas and Charlotte are the four teams most likely to trade for Cousins, the former Wildcats star.
The Kings said they are not interested in trading Cousins --- or they are not interested in the offers so far.
Cousins, 22 going on 12, has crazy talent. He's also not in his right mind at times.
He was suspended by the Kings for a game (that'll teach him!) after a confrontation with coach Keith Smart this season.
He was suspended for two games by the league after confronting former NBA forward Sean Elliott, the San Antonio Spurs' television analyst, after Elliott criticized him on air.
Cousins' track record also includes a locker-room dust-up with a teammate; being fined after a verbal altercation with the team's strength and conditioning coach; and being kicked out of practice after clashing with former coach Paul Westphal.
Mindful of locker-room chemistry, coach-killers and immature brats, the Magic are not about to touch Cousins with asbestos gloves.
(One ironic aside: Cousins' agent is Dan Fegan. Yes, the Dan Fegan who represented Howard and finally uprooted him from Orlando. Fegan and the Magic aren't exactly buds.)
Hennigan is big on building around solid citizens, and there's a vetting process for each potential Magic signee. But Cousins is an extreme example of a dressing-room cancer.
The Magic are, understandably, cleaning up the spill on their reputation after the Dwightmare. As their wins without Howard shrink, they can't afford any major PR catastrophes.
In fact, as you can read today in the paper's sports section and online, the Sentinel's Josh Robbins reports that, according to a league source, the club has no interest in a superstar who was recognized as Most Disgruntled Player of 2012 — Dwight himself. Even if his L.A. experiment fizzles and he's feeling homesick as a free agent this summer, the Magic will not attempt to bring him back.
(The possibility of a return sounds outrageous, even for Dwight, but we know his history.)

In the wake of the success of the 11 Speed Dura Ace 9000 group, this year Shimano revealed that the 11 Speed sensation was moving down the line to the more affordable Ultegra 6800 group. The new Ultegra 6800 wheelset is a tubeless-ready design and employs a wide flange hub and offset rim to ensure optimal stiffness and efficiency. Upgrades on the Ultegra 6800 Hubs go beyond the addition of an extra speed! In order to bring the Ultegra tubeless wheels up to date with the new 11 speed suit, the 6800 hubs have been updated with a new freehub that features a new cone digital adjustment system designed to diffuse quick release tension, reducing the load on the bearings to enable smoother spinning and increased durability. In place of the double lock system normally found on most cup and cone hubs is a ratcheting ring hidden under an end cap. To adjust it you simply remove the end cap with a 5mm allen, and rotate the ring to eliminate any play in the bearings. No more messing with cone spanners! Hubs weigh 10 grams less than previous version, allowing the wheelset to weigh in at 1,640 grams (claimed).

Comments about Shimano WH-6800 Ultegra Wheelset:
I bought the wheelset to replace the original wheel which came with the Giant Defy Comp 0. The weight is lighter and it is more responsive when I sprint or accelerate. Tubeless ready so you don't need any rim tape. Well build. You cannot use any tire level to open so putting in new tire does take some times without the tire level.

Comments about Shimano WH-6800 Ultegra Wheelset:
Checked spoke tension and trueness out of box and no changes needed. Road MS 150 after installing and performed very well.

Comments about Shimano WH-6800 Ultegra Wheelset:
I upgraded from the Bontrager SSR, which is an entry level wheelset. I immediately noticed the difference, the Ultegra is definitely lighter and the bike is more responsive when accelerating and transfers power more efficiently. I can feel the bike accelerate quicker form a stop and feel better response when I am pedaling off the saddle at full power. You can use the rear with a 10-speed cassette with a spacer that comes with it, I didn't even have to tune up the rear derailleur when I swapped the wheels. I'm looking forward when it comes time to change the tires as I'm going for the tubeless.

Comments about Shimano WH-6800 Ultegra Wheelset:
I picked these up after my stock rear wheel was giving me issue. I spent A LONG Time deciding what wheel to get and these fit the bill. Several Hundred miles after having them for 3 weeks and I have hit potholes and jumped bumps and they are still true as day 1. I am 255 lbs and ride aggresive. I believe Shimano makes a great wheel and will back them up if problem arises. They are 11 speed, but will work with 10- adapter included. They will also work tubeless. Maybe try that later...

Celebrate the work of contemporary Latin American artist, Arid OrozcoPresented by Wallpaper by Arid Orozco
Join us for a special event celebrating the work of contemporary Latin American artist, Arid Orozco, and his premiere exhibit, "Wallpaper," in New York City! Together, the paintings create a "wallpaper" of stories, capturing a narrative of emotions that Arid expresses about his home country of Venezuela and his relationship with his muse and adored mother. The bright colored canvases are the alter ego of Arid's sadness and longing for his country and family. Arid will be at the exhibit to discuss his work and inspirations behind it. The exhibit will be held at El Aripo Café and proceeds will be donated to AID FOR AIDS. An array of mouthwatering cocktails will be served by Moscow 57.

The G-Form Shin Pads provide form fitting protection for all day excursions out on the trails. G-Form uses RPT™ - Reactive Protection Technology, a blend of Poron® XRD™ and proprietary G-Form materials and technology. RPT give you a protective material that is progressive, meaning it gets tougher as the impact increases. It will also keep protecting you after repeated impacts without losing any of its protective qualities.
RPT Technology in the G-Form Shin Guard also keeps the guard light and comfortable. The protective exo-skeleton is hinged to remain flexible and not restrict movement. The protective element is attached to a compression fabric in order to keep it close to the body to insure that your protection does not move away from your key areas. The G-Form Shin Guards can be worn in warm or cold weather, on top or underneath clothing.

Comments about G-Form Shin Pads:
My wife literally fell off cliff in Sedona wearing these today (HiLine Trail). Knees and shins are unblemished, but she wasn't wearing elbows and is pretty banged up there. Minor tear in one shin pad is the damage to these pads. Can't fault them.
Best Uses
Comments about G-Form Shin Pads:
I purchased a pair of these for my wife who has a knack for receiving pedal whacks to the shin. So far they've worked out great. They are so light and comfortable that she doesn't even take them off in the car. No issues staying on during heavy pedaling either. She's 5'3, 115 lbs and the small is a good fit.
I wouldn't use these for downhill. Not heavy or sturdy enough. But for the purpose of providing some light shin protection for all-mountain or XC riding they are fantastic. And since the latter is what they were purchased for, 5 stars.
Best Uses
Comments about G-Form Shin Pads:
Hard to pull out. Light but pricy. I will probably like them the day the pedal will spin back and kiss my shin. The rubber is a bit thin but quite spongy. Buy if in special. Not for all mountain in my honest opinion.
Best Uses
Comments about G-Form Shin Pads:
These are very comfortable and feels just like wearing socks yet offers protection from pedal strikes which is why i got them. They are very light weight and also doubles as leg warmers for colder rides.
